CONCEPT CONCEPT STATEMENT
Looking at the diverse metropolitan of Washington D.C., Clarendon’s Crossing looks to address it as a system of connections. With the site located off of the Orange Line, people from Maryland to Virginia come to work, and play in the vibrant neighborhood. By allowing the city to grow unimpeded by structure, the neighborhood continues to thrive. Adding to the neighborhoods vibrant nightlife is a way to bridge the gap between new residences and locals. This connection for the population gives a since to connection to the neighborhoods itself. To best bring the population into the site, the local park is extended into the site. This landscape band becomes the basis to design off of. It joins the existing fabric and intensifies the connections to allow successful program. The architecture should maintain a presence in the everlasting one of Arlington. Sustainability is a key issue to address. Though LEED certification would be a mean, also using classical architecture fundamentals will achieve this with greater result. Solar analysis of the created spaces shows that a place with light, will be a place with people. The courtyard opens up the entertainment district to be a welcoming place due to light.

By using a morphing form, the blending between distinct program districts can occur. With two main blocks being designated for residential development, and the center core being designed for office facilities, the merging of the entertainment district brings the complex together
The traditional box has shown its limits in architecture and its fit in urbanism. Using a wind tunnel, we can analyze the breakdown of vortices that can occur in urban fabric. The use of smooth contours and no strong angles lets the wind be free from these limits. The wind gently goes off of the facade through the streets instead of raging.
An organic site allows organic design to occur. Much of the natural world is organic, why can’t architecture? The box has its limitations,especially in office and residential architecture. Everyone wants access to the views and the sun. By opening the building, every space has equal access to these amenities.
